School Year 2010-2011 Classroom Orientation

Prayer:

Father of Light and Wisdom, thank you for giving us a mind that
can know and a heart that can love. Help us to keep learning everyday
of our life. Let us be convinced that all knowledge leads to you and let
us know how to find you and love you in all the things you have made.

Encourage us when the studies are difficult and when we are


tempted to give up. Enlighten us when our brains are slow and help us
to grasp the truth held out to us. Grant us the grace to put our
knowledge to use in building the kingdom of God in heaven.

As we begin school year 2010-2011 we ask your guidance and


protection, send your Holy Spirit to each one of us that we may be
obedient to our adviser, teachers and school officials. Help us Lord to
see you in the life of our classmates. Make our last year in high school
full of knowledge, memorable and something we can treasure in our
hearts. We ask forgiveness for the shortcomings we have committed to
you and to our classmate and help us become more responsible students
and worthy to be called NAZAREANS.

We lift up to you Father our batch because we believe that apart


from you we can do nothing. Sanctify us by the most precious blood of
your son Jesus Christ, this we ask in the name of your son and our Lord.
Amen.

Statement of Faith

About God. We believe that God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe, the first
person of the trinity. We believe that God is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe
that God is present everywhere. We believe that God as our Heavenly Father will provide for
our physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

About Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate (God in the flesh),
the second person in the trinity. We believe that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and
freely gave His life as the perfect sacrifice for sin and sinners. We believe that He is the only
means of salvation. We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus from the dead and that He is
alive forevermore. We believe He will return to the earth in the second coming.

About the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity, co-
equal with the Father and the Son. We believe He is the Comforter who indwells the hearts of
those who receive Christ for salvation; He convinces and convicts of truth and aids the believer
in his/her spiritual growth.

About Mankind. We believe that all people are sinful and cannot make themselves good
on their own. We believe that people are made righteous by accepting God’s forgiveness for sin
through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. We believe that people are given a new life (born again)
because of this relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that salvation is a gift of God that is
only received through faith, not by anything that a person can do.

About the Bible. We believe the Bible is the infallible and inspired Word of God. We
believe that it is our only guide to show us what we should believe and how to live. We believe
that it is for everyone to read, so all may hear God speak to their hearts and minds.

About the Church. We believe that the church is made up of people of every race, who
have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of
the Church, and we who belong to Him are members of His body. We believe that the task of the
church is to teach the Word of God and make Jesus Christ known throughout the world. We
believe that the church has two sacraments instituted by the new covenant, baptism and
communion.

About the School. We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of this institution, the child’s
second home. Chosen and consecrated by the grace of God, Nazareth Christian School is
likened to a deep well from which one may drink to quench his thirst for knowledge; a strong
foundation where parents, teachers and students draw inspired leadership strategies and
encouragement in pursuit of excellence.

About the Family. We believe that a family no matter how lowly it could be has every
right and opportunity to unconditionally rear up its children, attend to and supply their needs
during their formative years and beyond. As stewards, the family is obligated to serve the
children in faith, hope and charity for God’s glory. It is noteworthy for the family to remember
that by wisdom a home is built and through understanding it is established; through knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

About the Children. We believe that the children are created in the spiritual image of
God, to be like Him in character. They are the supreme objects of God’s creation and His
justification for the school and parents to care and support them. Children, above all, need to
understand the spiritual truths and are dependent on God’s Spirit to enable them to do what is
pleasing to God. The parents and teachers provide the courage and inspiration to make
children creep through the light and rise.

I, the undersigned, have read the school’s Statement of Faith. I understand that
enrollment confers upon the school to instruct my children in accordance to the Statement of
Faith.

SCHOOL SEAL

7
The school seal is basically circular, running endlessly around and enclosing within the
pink field witnessing ministry with the Holy Bible at its center point with the parents and
children who make up the Filipino family. This is an eloquent portrayal of God at work in
pursuing the school’s vision (Proverbs 22:6). As He entrusts His chosen disciples to teach,
counsel, and preach, Nazareth Christian School of Antipolo serves as the Christ-centered
institution that caters Bible-based instructions to enhance spiritual and ethical values and
academic preparations for productive lives.

The blue field represents salvation. Nazareth Christian School of Antipolo provides
opportunities for the children starting from their formative years the way to deliverance from any
form of dangers, misfortunes, denials and deprivations. Drawing strength in God’s wisdom,
children are guided to hone themselves to be better each day and attain the best in them in the
fields of science and information technology, environment, humanities, communication, culture
and the arts. These children, as they try to make good their aspirations, will need prayers, sparks
of enthusiasm, and efforts of their own to develop that for all they are worth, desire for freedom
from want and hazards of earthly unrest, blessings and deliverance, in His time.

The red circle represents the discipleship ministry from whose Divine source radiates to
all men the core Christian values through praise, service and commitment. Man has since obeyed
His Lord and makes good in leading others to know and follow His plan.

COLORS OF THE SCHOOL

The official colors of the School shall be pink and blue.

Curriculum

Preschool
The early beginnings of Nazareth Christian School of Antipolo saw the offering of
Preschool subjects aimed at preparing the toddlers for formal schooling. NCSA mustered a
small group of school administrators and teachers to prepare the curriculum for Nursery,
Kindergarten I and II. The productive experiences of the group gave way to a curriculum design
presented to and approved by the Department of Education to start with. The next years
thereafter were dedicated to the enrichment of the curriculum to insure that pupils are trained in
the basic subjects of the early years. Performance standards were readily established to facilitate
appraisal.

Now integrated with the school’s cognitive development are some educational practices
which were already proven to enhance spiritual, social, emotional and physical growths. In like
manner, the school has given special attention to both aesthetic appreciation and creative
expressions while going through these youthful years.

The school year 2010-2011 now brings about exciting challenges to teachers, pupils and
parents not only in the academic field but also in the areas of play, recreation and children’s
sports. Past experiences have shown children even as strong that our children, in company with
their parents, can very well be parts of the school’s ‘performing arts’.

Elementary School
Conformably with the 1992 Education Law and Private Schools: A Practical Guide for
Educational Leaders and Policy Makers by Ulpiano P. Sarmiento III, Nazareth Christian School
of Antipolo still adopts the Basic Elementary Education curriculum of 1992 without prejudice to
the innovations in elementary education. Corollary to this persuasion, the NCSA still considers
the present elementary educational practices in Grades 1 to 6, as still very much in need of
developmental skills in English. School heads and teachers recognize the difficulties that pupils
face in learning English as a language and at the same time using it as a medium of learning.
There is now a valid reason to improve oral, aural, reading and writing skills. The school also
found the wisdom in the recommendations contained in Department Order No. 35, s. 2005 and
made much use of the same in reinforcing contents. The present curriculum has been enriched to
include the child’s awareness of and responsiveness to the change of society and to prepare him
for constructive and effective involvement in the community affairs. Subjects include:
11
• English
• Science and Health
• Mathematics (Arithmetic)
• HEKASI (Heograpiya, Kasaysayan, Sibika)
• Filipino
• THE/Computer & Home Economics
• MAPE (Music, Arts & Physical Education
• Christian Living & Values Education (CLVE)
• Co-Curricular Activities
• Good Manners and Right Conduct
• Conduct

Secondary School
Secondary Education (High School) allows the continuity of the objectives of elementary
education, provides for use and extension of the tools for further exploring and acquiring
intellectual, social, moral and physical concepts, ideals, attitudes and skills in order to develop
the whole human being. In 2002, however, when the BECs curriculum was adopted, a good
amount of changes have to be made particularly in the level of communication skills of the
students. Remedial sessions with peer groups and language facilitators have to be adopted to
“jump-start” what were left behind. With new approaches to language teaching, good amount of
learning have taken place over the last few years. Students have become more dynamic and
active.

Spiritual Activities

Over and above the Department of Education’s mandated learning areas, the school
offers opportunities to students to experience spiritual activities as integrated in the school
curriculum. While NCSA respects all kinds of religious persuasions, it encourages all students to
participate in the sets of banner programs and spiritual activities for the entire school year.
These are carefully designed sets of activities for the students to learn and enjoy. The overriding
aim is to put God first in all learning experiences, one sure way of developing spiritual and
ethical values of children during their formative years. It is in this spirit that NCSA provides
continuity of ‘character refinement’ earlier started and allows the traditional home-grown-values
and character manifest perceptively both at home, school and in the community. In close
partnership, the school and parents, and the students themselves, want godliness to be the
heartbeat of the Nazarean School of Antipolo

Co-Curricular Activities
At the very outset, Nazareth Christian School of Antipolo has offered a wide range of co-
curricular programs and activities every school year. More particularly, these programs are
intertwined with the cognitive development areas. Children are always in search for more school
12
activities beyond the normal classroom work. They will always love to share ideas, talents, and
later, qualitative work and play. Role playing is one superb way of developing children. They

become even more restless when denied the opportunities in choral recitations, dramatic contests
or shows, musical performances and the like. No wonder, they find delight in challenging their
growing intellect to think, problem solve and communicate. Undoubtedly, co-curricular
activities challenge the students to higher order of thinking and learning skills. One of the goals
of NCSA is leadership training – to build young boys and girls to become leaders who will
always want to keep themselves “up-front” and catch up sights of the new days and beyond.
The high school boys and girls are maturing past and beyond the ‘hump of mediocrity’ and now
willing to do better study, better work, better relationship for a better future. And the school,
teachers and students have always kept themselves challenged. In fact, the school President has
tasked each of the school personnel to take active role and produce positive results in the world
of the academe, happily engage and strengthen themselves in the field of sports, and learn and
enjoy the beauty and wonders of the performing arts. And all these are new challenges the
students and parents will be happy to bring about to the Division of Antipolo and to such other
organized communities of Rizal and the Metro-Manila areas. Everything jives with this school
year’s banner program, “vessels for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for very
good work” (2Timothy 2:21).

School Attendance
1. Students are required to attend classes regularly and on time.
2. A student who has incurred 20% of the total number of school days shall be dropped
from the school roll (DepEd).
3. Attendance in programs, ceremonies, general assemblies and other school spiritual
functions that may take the place of classroom instructions is required.
4. Cutting classes or excessive tardiness in any grading period will affect his grade in
Conduct, and may also be a ground for suspension or expulsion from the school. A 3-day
tardiness report is equivalent to one (1) day absence.
5. The school ID should always be on proper display whenever student is in the campus.
A student who persistently violates this specific rule may be allowed entry into the campus
but personally referred by the teacher/adviser to the office of the Principal or Administrator
who shall arranged for parents to come and help attend to this specific problem.

On Visitors and Parents


1. Visitors/parents on official inquiry are requested to sign the logbook and must secure the

2. They are not allowed to transact business directly with the teachers during class hours in the
Classroom nor with the teacher in the faculty room. The faculty room is for exclusive use of

the Office of the Principal.
3. Parents are not allowed to take out their children from classes.
4. Parents and visitors must wear decent and proper attire. In visiting the school, no shorts,
undershirts, and slippers allowed.

Leaving the Campus


NCSA is responsible for the whereabouts of its students during school days.
Pupils/Students are expected to stay in school campus from the time they arrive until dismissal
time, including the time for approved school activities. Parents/Guardian and students are
mandatory to adhere to the following procedure in early dismissal:
1. A written request from parents/guardian must be submitted to the class adviser
and must be noted before the adviser submits it to the School Principal for
approval.

13
2. A student is granted approval for an early dismissal only for very serious and
unavoidable circumstances.

3. A student who is advised by the school nurse to go home due to illness will be
issued a ‘Dismissal Slip’ by the school nurse to be signed by the class adviser and

advise them to personally fetch their child from school.
4. A student may be allowed to leave the school campus only upon presentation of
the Dismissal Slip signed by the class adviser and School Principal to the guard-
on-duty at the gate before he/she leaves.

than emergency.

Grading System

NCSA adopts a grading system for preschool, grade school and high school guided by the
persuasions of Ulpiano P. Sarmiento III, the Eighth Edition or Manual of Regulation for Private
School of 1992 as amended. Some pertinent provisions are reprinted in this handbook for the
16
information and guidance of all concerned. Referral has also been made to a certified copy of the
enclosure to DepEd Order No. 22, s. 2003 and finally, reference is also made of DepEd Order
No. 35, series of 2005 specifically Enclosures Nos. 1-5.

1. Under the Philippine education system, schools whether public or private, have the
inherent power to impose the standards of scholastic achievement for its students and to
eliminate anyone who fails to meet the desired norm.
2. “Grading System” refers to the system of mark used by a teacher to evaluate the
academic quality of a student’s work in a course, subject, assignment, or examination.
The most common grading system is the numerical or percentage system which usually
ranges from 70% (the lowest passing mark) to 95%.
3. Nazareth Christian School of Antipolo uses the averaging system for its preschoolers
while it uses he cumulative grading system for the elementary and secondary levels
“which requires the computation of the student’s cumulative average (the average of his
grade in each course). To pass and earn credits for subjects taken, he should receive a
final cumulative average of 75% for each subject. Promotion in the secondary level is by
subject and not by the school year, a student who receives a cumulative average of less
than 75% for one subject fails it and must repeat; although as such, the Manual does not
require the student re-enroll for the entire school year.”
4. “Standards of scholastic achievement, as set by NCSA, school rules, policies and
regulations make it incumbent upon every student to exert his utmost in his education in
every way.” For purposes of treatment of test raw scores, the school adopts a
transmutation table that shall readily challenge every student to rise above the level of
mediocrity.

Measures of Performance in the Preschool Level

NCSA Preschool Department adopts the averaging system of grading. The rating for each
learning area in a grading period is the average of all the ratings entered in the class record
under each measure of achievement multiplied by the corresponding weight. The average of
all weighted averages is the student’s rating for the First Quarterly Period.

1st Quarterly Period Weight Ave. Final

Quarterly Test 25% 88 x .25 = 22.00


Mid-Quarter Test 15% 82 x .15 = 12.30
Quizzes / Seatwork 15% 84. x .15 = 12.60
Class Recitation/Involvement/Co-Curricular 25% 82 x .25 = 20.50
Homework’s/Assignments 05% 84 x .05 = 4.20

Projects/Art Works 05% 84 x .05 = 4.20


Conduct/Attendance 10% 86 x .10 = 8.60
Computed weighted average, 1st quarter of a subject = 84.40
Grades of other subjects are treated in this same computation.
The average of all weighted averages is the student’s rating for the First Quarterly period.

Biblical Reasons for Discipline

- …because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and punishes everyone He accepts as a
son. (Hebrews 12:6)

- Endure hardship as discipline: God is treating you as a son. For what is not disciplined by
his father. (Hebrews 12:6)

- If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline) then you are illegitimate
children and not true sons. (Hebrews 12:8)

- Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us
for our good, that we may share His holiness. (Hebrews 12:10)

- No discipline is pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest
of righteousness and peace for those who have been tried by it. (Hebrews 12:11)

NCSA Code of Discipline

1. The student is reminded that he is first and above all created in the image and likeness of
God. Good manners right conduct is the mark of a well-bred, well-educated Christian.
22
2. An NCSA student, in addition to secular books required by the school, is obligated to
possess and bring his own Holy Bible in school daily.

3. A student who comes to Nazareth Christian School of Antipolo is expected to live and
study according to the school’s core values and attain the Nazarean character. The core
values are Godliness, Integrity, Respect, Hard Work, Prudence and High Relational
Skills. Once the student is in Nazareth, he is known for the core values he professes.

4. The NCSA is the student’s second home. He is now considered a member of the
Nazarean family. As such, he will study, work and play with teachers and students in the
spirit of respect, caring and sharing. He is expected to observe proper decorum in all
classrooms, offices, Chapel Hall, Library, Laboratory, Clinic, Canteen and other function
rooms.

5. For school year 2009-2010, in close cooperation with the parents/guardians, the school
will aggressively pursue the students’ internalization of the godly character and conduct
among all Nazareans, not merely wished for or thought of, but done at all times in many
ways. They become “vessels for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for
every good work.”

6. Each teacher will maintain the highest degree of professionalism while attaining his
passion for excellence and passing this on to his pupils/students, thereby making himself
truly a “vessel for honor.”

7. Gentlemanly or ladylike behavior, attire in conformity with prescribed school uniform or


in appropriate decent attire on special occasions, are expected of the NCSA students
while in the attendance in school functions and approved off-campus activities. As
godliness is the heartbeat of the Nazarean community, courtesy, politeness and clean
language reigns in and out of the classrooms.

8. NCSA student regards school properties with care. He is also expected to keep the
building and campus clean and orderly. Littering in and out of the classrooms is taboo in
Nazareans. Vandalism in any form is strictly prohibited.

9. Use of any school facilities beyond classroom work must first be approved by the school
administration. The school reserves the right to regulate and check incoming or outgoing
properties through the Property Custodian.

10. The exercise of the rights to dissent by the student must not infringe upon the right of the
school officials, staff, teachers, and students in carrying out their official duties and
functions.

Disciplinary Sanctions/Actions

The classroom teacher is primarily responsible for setting up a school environment


conducive to learning. As discipline is precedent to learning, it is incumbent upon the classroom
teacher to set the tone of behavior the students must experience while in the classroom with you
or elsewhere in the campus. This is done not in terms of imposition but in the spirit and friendly
acceptance and cooperation with one another. There is no room for a teacher to be an authority
figure who makes of fear to discipline students.

Violations of the NCSA Code of Conduct are first attended to by the classroom teacher.
Continuous and unattended violations within the subject teacher’s responsibility may cause the
teacher negative sanctions by either the Class Adviser or the Coordinator or the Principal. The
Coordinator and Class Adviser jointly help in solving cases while there is enough time.

Further delay in the resolution of case, especially those involving school and parents may
be brought to the attention of the School Administrator for early resolution. In cases where
possible exclusion may result to any student with problems, a joint resolution of the
Administrator, Principal and the Spiritual Director, subject to the approval of the President, will
23
spell out the decision on the case in question. Only the President of NCSA can rule on the
suspension, exclusion or expulsion of any erring student. The following will guide the
Coordinator, teacher-adviser and the teacher on disciplinary sanctions:

Offenses and their Corresponding Sanctions. The following acts are considered offenses
under this code, violations of which shall be dealt with the following corresponding
sanctions.

Sanctions on Erring Students


Section 77. Article XIV Manual of Regulations for Private Schools Categories of
Administrative Penalties.
The three categories of disciplinary administrative sanctions for serious offenses or violation of
school rules and regulations which may be applied upon an erring pupil or student are:
Suspension, Exclusion and Expulsion.

Suspension. Suspension is a penalty in which the school is allowed to deny or deprive an


erring student of attendance in classes for a period not exceeding twenty (20%) of the prescribed
class days for the school year or term.

The decision of the school on every case involving the penalty of suspension which exceeds
twenty (20%) of the prescribed school days for a school year or term shall be forwarded to the
Regional Office concerned within ten days from the termination of the investigation of each case
for its information.

Preventive Suspension. A student under investigation in a case involving the penalty of


expulsion may be preventively suspended for entering the school premises if the evidence of
guilt is strong and the school head is morally convinced that the continued stay of the student
during the period of the investigation constitutes a distraction to the normal operations of the
school or poses a risk or danger of the life of persons and property in the school.

Exclusion. Exclusion is a penalty in which the school is allowed to exclude or drop the
name of the erring pupil or student from the school roll for being undesirable and transfer
credentials are immediately issued. No prior approval of the DepEd is required in the imposition
of the penalty. A copy of the decision is submitted to the DepEd to give it a chance to review
these documents in case the aggrieved student files an appeal.

Expulsion. Expulsion is an extreme penalty on an erring pupil or student consisting of


his exclusion from admission to any public or private school in the Philippines and which
requires the prior approval of the secretary. The penalty may be imposed for act of offenses

personnel from entering the school premises or attending classes or discharging their duties,

The school has under its employ its own security guards who are tasked by the school to
maintain a round-the-clock security of the building, properties, personnel and students thereat.
Likewise, the guards are the indispensable guardians in keeping peace and tranquility in the
campus as teachers, support staff and students keep themselves busy with the teaching in
learning processes. The following are some specific details.

each to insure smooth entry into and exit from the school compound.

to their class programs, no one is allowed to leave the campus until after class hours.
3. Unless given permission in writing, no group of
students and teachers are allowed inside the campus during Saturdays and Sundays or
during the holidays.
4. Parents who are personally known to and identified
by the guard and waiting for their school children are allowed in the area allotted for
them, but not allowed to enter the children’s classrooms without the Principal’s
permission.
5. Parents/guardians who cater lunch for their children
usually deposit the food at the security guard’s area from where the students will draw
their meals at noon.
6. Eating is not allowed anywhere in the school
compound except in the canteen.
7. A visitor who wants to do business with the office
is still requested to have himself identified by the guard. When allowed, signs the
logbook, and given a gate pass. He returns this gate pass upon leaving the place.
8. School properties set to be taken out of the
compound or those which are taken into for the use in the academic activities during class
days or worship services as on Sundays become the responsibility of the security guard

ON MISCELLANEOUS DISCIPLINARY PROVISIONS:

On Requests for Drop-outs or Transfers

1. A student who wants to drop out or transfer from school is required to submit a letter of
intent from his parent or guardian to the teacher-adviser. Teacher-adviser personally
confirms the intent with the parents, helps parent/student prepare the Drop-out form.
After confirmation, the teacher endorses the letter to the Registrar who issues a clearance
form to the student for accomplishment. Once accomplished, the student is invited,
preferably with a parent or guardian, to undergo exit counseling with the Spiritual
Director.

no need of utilizing cell phones for domestic calls. Likewise the Department of Education does
not allow pupils and high school students to use cellular phones while in school. The school
reserves the right to confiscate any cellular phone brought into the school. Only the parents can
retrieve confiscated cellular phones from the school at the end of regular day of the moth.

On Time Frame for Submission of Projects

is an authentic and performance- based assessment. Quarterly project will be given by the subject
teacher at the start of every quarter during the distribution of working plan. Simple but
procedurally designed and constructed, projects must be submitted to the teacher ten (10) regular
school days before the scheduled examination (Mid-Quarter and Quarterly tests) to avoid
reviewing their lessons. Failure to submit the required project on time will give the pupil/student
a failing grade of 70.

activities but also in any other sessions officially called for by the school. In the particular case
of daily attendance, a student is late (tardy) when he is not in line formation during the morning

be given the Performance Appraisal Report to be discussed with parents/guardian
during the conference..

action to be imposed by the school; parents are sent for immediately for
conference.

record purposes and signature and must be presented to the Department Coordinator for the
Admission Form.

Preschool, start at 7:00 in the morning. Dismissal time for Grades 1 to 3 is 12:30 P.M., for
Grades 4 to 6 and High School, 3:20 in the afternoon. Students are not allowed to remain in

students and teachers who are permitted to stay in school up to the prescribed number of hours.

from the accounting office and to that effect executes a promissory note. PROMISORY
NOTES should be presented to the accounting office at least three (3) days before the first day
of examination.

reasons for his/her failure to take the scheduled examinations. If the said failure is due to illness,
a medical/doctor’s certificate must be attached to the letter of excuse. Students are only allowed
to take two (2) special examinations.

2. The class adviser then informs the Office of the Principal and issues the permit to take the
special examination. The student pays a fee of Php. 50.00 per subject at the accounting office for
the special examinations. In case of special examinations in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, a permit
is also required.

only discouraged but disallowed per se by the school administration for valid reasons. If any
parent requests one of the teachers to do tutoring service to her child of any grade level, she is

accept this particular sanction in good faith.

permission of the next subject teacher. Pupil/student is required to wear ON-CAMPUS ID if
he/she will use the washrooms and needs to return to the classroom within 3 minutes. Failure to

wear the On-Campus I.D. means cutting classes from the subject concerned and will be given a
violation report.

On Birthday Celebrations
For and in consideration of the present global crisis, NCSA no longer allows birthday
parties/celebrations or ‘blowouts’ after pronouncements in the campus. Teachers are strictly
required to adhere to and observe this policy and must set themselves as examples in guiding the
students and parents to conserve financial resources. A simple greeting and prayers are
acceptable as gifts.

The canteen is a place for eating, students are requested to maintain cleanliness at all
times and must observe the following guidelines:

impose disciplinary action to any pupil/student for the dishonor brought to the school.

especially during the time they are supposed to be in school wearing the school uniform. Any
pupil/student caught in school uniform doing computer games, smoking (perhaps even drinking),
video games, playing billiards, and other unwholesome activities will be dealt with strict
disciplinary action.

campus, particularly when they are in school uniform.
